Thank you for your responses, so interesting to read everyone's take on this. A couple years ago I tried to clean up my stash of books/magazines and was able to give away a good amount. Somehow the pile has again grown sky high again. I don't have the room for these and live in fear my attic floor will collapse under the weight. Well, it's probably not quite that bad, at least not yet. I also have piles of home decorating type magazines, mostly "Old House Interiors" which I used to love!!! I decided to start with that pile rather than the quilting/craft pile and was able to put 95% of them in the "no longer need" pile which I'm happy about even though I love looking at the pictures of those beautiful old homes and reading about other's restoration stories. I thought was done with that pile when I opened up a cabinet and found a pile about 2'-3' high of magazines I forgot about. A combo of craft and home decorating mags that I must have put away when doing my purging a couple years ago. So the task continues. I know once I've cleared some of this out and have to move around in my quilting area it will feel better but I've always been one to hold on to things.
